you can get a steering wheel puller that screws into the two extra threaded holes and makes this job real quick and easy. I bought one years ago to pull clutch bits off motorcycles, and finally, with this truck, I used it for what it was intended for. It has two long bolts you thread into the threaded holes, then turn the big center one and wheel pops right off. Lyle makes one that I think you can get at Pep Boiz or AutoZone or any of them places. You could also make one really easy with a long half inch bolt, and a piece of scrap angle iron, and a couple of bolts from the hardware store. Weld the 1/2 nut to the angle iron in the middle (or use a couple o nuts) and you'd be in business for probably $5 if you went nutz and got some grade 8s.
